The legislative committee OF District Assembly
&c, Knights OF Labor, are well pleased with their
work during the session OF Congress Just closed.
The bills which they originated and which were
finally passed were the bills requiring engineers TO
be licensed and granting fifteen days leave with
pay to employees OF the bureau OF engraving and
printing. Chairman Bowen, OF the committee,
speaking TO STAR reporter, also expressed salts

Forty ninth Congress OF the mechanics lien law.

and which was included In The District apprOpria-
tion bill as IL passed the Senate but was stricken
out in conference provided for an Ice boat Tor
Washington harbor. The appropriation asked Tor
was $4,000. Mr. Bowen SAID this orig1-
mated with the Pilots Assembly, Knights of
Labor, and was urged by the legislative commit
tee. The reason the Knights or Labor proposed it
was that the suspension VI river trafic during the
winter on account OF Ice, not only had a oetr1-
mental effect on the commercial Interests OF the
city but threw out OF employ ment for a time every
winter large body OF men. III the harbor could
be kept open, they argued, vessels that now shun
the Potomac during winter months, Tor fear OF be-
ing ice-bouno, would come into the river and The
river trade would be as active Ia winter as In the
summer. This clause OF the appropriation bill WAS
attacked by Mr. Henderson IN his speech In the
House, who 1ntimated that IL was meant 10 pro-

Liberal Reunion Being Forced ON From

Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
LONDON, March 5.-Liberal reunion is being
forced on by circumstances outside the party as
well as within. There are grave difficulties in
the cabinet circle. Sir Michael Hicks-Beach is no
doubt an able and energetic man, but he has been
fairly broken down by the fatal worries OF the
Irish Office, the strain OF which whitened Treve-
lyans hair and shortened Fosters nfe and is tell
ing on the rather Quick-tempered gentleman who
now vainly attempts 10 govern Ireland. Nothing
could be more unfortunate than the way in which,
In a sudden burst OF impatience, he uttered the
dubious sentences which set the Irish benches
adame Thursday and provoked a savage outburst
over the constabulary vote but hsimpaiencet Is the
natural result OF the troubles he has gone and Is
going through. Precisely the same signs showed
themselves in the case Of Trevelyan in the last
few weeks OF his term OF Office. say this because

Beach away from the treasury bench not for few
days only.
THE COERCION Bill,
